Coaches id even one of his own players for belittling the Way crusaders. A Greenham just did no to play Good Ball a he said by philosophy is this we have a 40-Man dressing ister. Eleven offensive players 11 defensive players hats 22. You be got 18 Guys sitting on the Bench Hen you sub them in what do you Tell them a done Tore anymore a or a take it easy on them a no.

Run plays Staggenborg a yes i did Tell them that if they could score then sure Barber saw it from the other Side of a sideline last year in the Safe title game. The rockets were Superior throughout and ended up sending their subs into the game to mop up. Barber never forgot that. The new year brought unbridled determination Barber said. A a we re blessed with a stable full of receivers a stable full of running backs. We be got Guys like Keith Jones a second receive where number two is As Good As number one. With players like that you keep scoring. Its Rhein main has battled the Odds to get to its third straight Safe title game. The rockets made the playoffs at 3-5, thanks to the new Continental sports conference playoff format that allows eight of the nine teams into the final show. When Hammer time came the rockets nailed Hahn Sembach and Spang Dahlem to earn a ticket to England. A we feel coming into this thing for the fourth time that Well get up for Rhein main More than wed get up for say a Span Dahlem a Barber said. A the rockets Are still big brutes and bruisers we know that. A a we be still got something to prove sure a he said. A i think we came out of last years game with a Little As far As vindictiveness goes no this is not a grudge match against Rhein main a Barber said. A this is a grudge match against the Csc. We be lost three times to them. That does no to just mean Rhein main. A but since it is Rhein main and they be pushed us around wed like to prove that we can beat the big boys. We be been looking Forward to this game for a whole Barbera a chairs Are filled with familiar faces. Wide out Calvin Jones is Back snagging passes As Are Vincent Payne and Jones. John Rudy is shooting bullets at quarterback and the Workhorse Backfield of Orlando Bullock and Huel Clements gives the eagles a new look offence. Namely one that can Chew opponents apart via air mail or Trench warfare. Rudy Heads the cast and remains Barbera a cutting Edge. A coach Barber is Sharp a said Rudy by phone tuesday evening. A a that a one thing we kind of lacked last year was Strong coaching offensively. It was like a of their defense is doing that hmm. Lets do there really was no one to take charge. Now we stick with one plan. We re not so a John Rudy is particularly glad its Rhein main a Barber said. A a he a got something to prove to them. He was embarrassed to throw two out patterns and have them picked off and run for ads. Those 12 Points could have been the this will be Barbera a final trip Down that Tunnel. He Heads to the Hospital at Lindsey As later this year. Coaching no. A this is my last one. My last Hurrah so to speak. A an Era of my life is coming to an end. There arc different dynamics. I need to put on my progression hat a get my masters degree done with Advance career Wise Etc. I will not coach at All. A a in a closing a chapter of my life Here at Lakenheath. I just Hope the last sentence reads a Safe a a a a few weeks ago i came out with my Csc Grid awards. Oops i forgot one. Its the Golden tape recorder microphone award and it goes to drum Roll Maestro Span Dahlem coach Dave Lockwood and Saber quarterback Deluca Thurmond. This award is Given to the person who shuts out the press for no apparent reason other than he lost. Lockwood locked out stripes famed a other reporter just one week after the coaches wife uttered these words a ooh people get so wrapped up in Csc football. Its just a game. They take it so to Thurmond you shut me out after a win which was Peculiar. But Deluca remember this you re not Good enough to be shutting out the press. When you win a Safe title then you can spurn us. Until then you should take lessons from Warren Rogers the number two passer behind you and incidentally a class act. Rogers after being shunned by Thurmond and Lockwood during a Ramstein playoff win took it All in stride. That in itself shows that some people Are still having fun playing.
